What do you do in the off season- just go on vacation?

That would be great, but unfortunately other times at the orchard are almost as busy as the fall. Old trees need to be cut down and the land prepared for new trees. All the trees must be pruned. This starts in late fall and continues until almost spring. Early spring time is also for planting new trees. After the trees bloom, then thinning occurs. This is a labor intensive time and very important to ensure the fruit can grow. Equipment must be repaired. Buildings need to be repaired or expanded. We are always planning and working on ideas to make your visit better or smoother. New technology is important as we try to keep up with new or improving ways to grow fruit and increase production.
